    Introduction to Python

    Run the hidden code cell below to import the data used in this course.

    # Importing course packages; you can add more too!
    import numpy as np
    import math
    
    # Import columns as numpy arrays
    baseball_names = np.genfromtxt(
        fname="baseball.csv",  # This is the filename
        delimiter=",",  # The file is comma-separated
        usecols=0,  # Use the first column
        skip_header=1,  # Skip the first line
        dtype=str,  # This column contains strings
    )
    baseball_heights = np.genfromtxt(
        fname="baseball.csv", delimiter=",", usecols=3, skip_header=1
    )
    baseball_weights = np.genfromtxt(
        fname="baseball.csv", delimiter=",", usecols=4, skip_header=1
    )
    baseball_ages = np.genfromtxt(
        fname="baseball.csv", delimiter=",", usecols=5, skip_header=1
    )

        fname="soccer.csv",
        delimiter=",",
        usecols=1,
        skip_header=1,
        dtype=str,

    Explore Datasets

    Use the arrays imported in the first cell to explore the data and practice your skills!

    • Print out the weight of the first ten baseball players.
    • What is the median weight of all baseball players in the data?
    • Print out the names of all players with a height greater than 80 (heights are in inches).
    • Who is taller on average? Baseball players or soccer players? Keep in mind that baseball heights are stored in inches!
    • The values in soccer_shooting are decimals. Convert them to whole numbers (e.g., 0.98 becomes 98).
    • Do taller players get higher ratings? Calculate the correlation between soccer_ratings and soccer_heights to find out!
    • What is the average rating for attacking players ('A')?
